Jorgen's review for __Tears Of A Tiger__.

The book I read for this assignment is __Tears Of A Tiger__. The main character is Andy he has a love for basketball. After a big game they won him and his friends went out to drink and than they got into a car accident. Andy's friend Rob died in the car accident. Through out this book it is describing what Andy has to go through. He has to go to a shrink that is how bad he is depressed. He is counstiltley depressed and at the end of the book Something happens to Andy. You will have to read the book to find out what happens to Andy.

Opinion on this book. My opinion on tis book is I like it all besides for the end. Everything I liked about this because it shows you what middle-high school kids go through. It is a good example of to show you and help you understand what they go through. Also when all this is happening it is amazing if you have gone through it because it is so close to what you have gone through, and what it is like. Over all I liked this book a lot.

My Review

I really thought that this book was o.k. I thought that it was written really well but I thought the plot was really lame. If you like books that deal with racism this is the book you want to read because the stories is a kid who kills his friend by accident and feels like other kids are raciest towards him. If you are looking for a book to read I would read another book.

Jessia's review for __Tears of a Tiger.__ I read a book for a class project, and it was called, __Tears of a Tiger.__ This book tells how every day kids loose a friend and how they get over the death. It also tells that if you make the wrong choices you can get hurt in multiple ways. Andy, the main character, and his friends just got done with a basketball game and went out to celibrate. While they were out, they got drunk. They were having a "good" time and crashed. Andy, and two of the three friends got out safely, but Rob, one of Andys friends, got stuck in the car. So this book is about how teens in high school get through their year at Hazelwood High.

Opinion of book. My opinion of the book is,... I liked the book but I think the book is little drastic for kids who are younger than 12. At the end of the book people will think that was stupid of Andy, but Andy did it out of the grief he was feeling. I thought Andy should have gotten more help then what he already had. I also think that Andys friends should have talked to Andy a little more then they actually did. Over all I liked the book. I thought it was a good book to read because of what happened to the teens at Jefferson High School. This book is really good. I recemmend this book for anyone over the age of 12.

Amber's review for __Tears of a Tiger.__ The book I read for my class project was Tears of a Tiger. This book tells you the story of a boy who loses a friend while drunk driving. Now he has to go through the problems in his life like having to go to the shrink, talking to his parents about his grades, and wronging about everything else. This book will bring you through the life of Andy and how he "gets over" his depression.

Opinion of book. I really enjoyed this book! It was a suspenceful and somewhat of a love story. I liked how Andy's friends were there to were there to suport him when he was going through the lose of his dear friend.About the author.
